A nonlinear disequilibrium macrodynamic model of uctuations in the labour and
product markets, mediated by variations in factor shares, is developed and the exis-
tence of a periodic orbit is proved using the Hopf ...

Farmers participating in agri-environmental schemes (AESs) that are aimed at protecting biodiversity should ideally make decisions relating to the ecological management of their farms based on the habitat types found on ...

Willingness-to-pay studies are increasingly being used in the evaluation of health care programmes. There are, however, methodological issues that need to be resolved before the potential of willingness-to-pay can be fully ...

In this paper, travel-to-work patterns are analysed for a number of key employment sub-centres in the Dublin region. Geographical information system (GIS) visualisations and regression analysis are used to identify a small ...

The importance of essential fish habitat in supporting commercial fisheries has received increasing attention in recent years. Bottom trawling is known to cause particularly destructive damage to habitat which is effectively ...

In this paper the Johansen model was used to examine the impact of
CAP Reform on the structure of farming in the Disadvantaged Areas of

set. ...

The article focuses on the European Central Bank (ECB) as a lender of last resort (LOLR) for the government bond markets of the Eurozone. It states that the increase of bond yields in the European crisis changed the liquidity ...

We present evidence of phase transitions (periodic to chaotic and
chaotic to chaotic) in the Dow Jones Industrial Index as it transitions
from Bull to Bear market. There is also evidence of a completely unpredictable

We show that if exchange rate pass-through is incomplete, a country's terms of trade may move in the same or contrary direction to the nominal value of its currency. Moreover, when the degree of pass-through is endogenous, ...

We use the techniques of cointegration and error-correction models to estimate long-run and short-run export demand functions for Ireland using quarterly data for the 1979-1993 period. We consider three determinants of ...

This study examined inequalities in uptake of cervical cancer screening in the Republic of Ireland, Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States using data from nationally representative surveys in 2007/2008. ...
